Log Cabins to RentRich with industrial heritage, the Valleys area of Wales offers Caerphilly Castle, adventure in the Big Pit Mining museum, horse back tours in the Dare Valley, and challenging cycling trails along canal, disused railways and tramways.
The lodge is perched on the top of a hillside within the grounds of a working farm. There are stunning, uninterrupted views over the Elan Valley and its rolling hills. The farm is 9 miles north of Builth Wells and just 6 miles from Llandrindod Wells. Builth Wells offers a good selection of shops, bars, and cafes, and plays host to the Royal Welsh Show for one week during the summer months. There are excellent local walks and cycling trails available. Why not try the 3km circular 'spa Walk' and learn a little about the history of Llandrindod Wells? As you enter the property, you are welcomed into the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, enjoying stunning views from the French doors. The contemporary kitchen is wrapped around the six seater dining table, with the room leading into the lounge. The lounge has two sofas, one of which is a sofa bed which can be made up as an extra bed on request. There is a Smart TV to stream your favourite movies or programmes and unwind after a day of exploring. There are two bedrooms: the first is the king size zip and link that can be made into 2'6" twin beds, and the second is a double bedroom. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower attachment and WC. Heading outside, there is a sheltered hot tub to relax in whilst enjoying the views overlooking the countryside. The fully enclosed garden has a patio area with outdoor seating and a charcoal BBQ to make the most of dining al fresco; there is also a separate lawn area for the children and dogs to run around in.
Brecon, Glamorgan, Wales
From £623
Availability
A beautifully constructed two bedroomed log cabin that offers the lovely sense of outdoor living with indoor creature comforts! Just north of the Brecon Beacons national park and nestling in the folds of the hills. Guests can enjoy an excellent view either out on the spacious elevated decking accessed by double french windows from the lounge, or from within the fully insulated and centrally heated cabin.
The Cabin is made up of a open plan kitchen and lounge with double doors opening out onto a spacious decking. There is a double bedroom and a second bedroom with a full sized bunk bed. There is also a shower room. The Cabin is fully centrally heated from the farm's biomass heating system.
The cottage sits in the main farm complex above the black barn and the horse riding arena. You have your own access and come and go as you please. You can bring your car to the front door of the Cabin if necessary.
Hugh is the farm owner, lives in the main farm house opposite the cottage and works on the farm during the day so he is available most of the time and is happy for you to knock on the door if you have any queries or need some help.
Please note that access to the farm is along unsurfaced track and crosses a culvert. This is usually not a problem however, immediately after exceptionally heavy rain the track can get washed away into deeper ruts and the the culvert can flow over the concrete crossing point. There have been occasions when I have had to ferry guests across in 4x4. Even when the water is not a problem, low slung cars can find it difficult to negotiate the track. With care a vehicle such as a VW Golf can manage to get in and out quite easily.
There is a laundry in the main barn that guests are welcome to use. The barn can also be used for drying and storage of bikes etc.
The farm is home to 5 horses, 5 chickens, 5 cows, 4 ducks, 1 cat and 2 dogs.

The surrounding land resembles part Swiss mountain woodland and part Yorkshire Dales, with many forest paths. The sound of sheep, a gurgling stream, and a noisy dawn chorus will caress your ears. The skies are dark at night – perfect for astrophotography and star gazing. The air is crisp, and our spring-fed water is deliciously sweet and chemical-free.

The south-facing bedroom and lounge doors open onto the decking, which is bathed in sunlight from morning to night (when it's not raining, overcast or at night).

The garden and land around the property demonstrate some aspects of permaculture that may interest visitors.
Your ears will be deafened by the sound (and not smell) of sheep, a gurgling stream and a noisy dawn chorus.
There are woodpeckers, hawks, a resident family of wagtails, chattering swifts or swallows (I can’t tell which as they fly too fast) and our very own resident Robin. If you are lucky, you will see deer walking past the holiday chalet as they make their way to the forest track at dusk.
Deer, badgers, a family of boars, and our guardian Hare (Lord Frith) are seen from time to time in the forest track leading to the Old Stables.
The decking at the chalet faces open skies - perfect for a telescope or nighttime photography. Bird watchers can see buzzards flying above and in the distance, depending on the day and season.
